REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
22. Cooperation
Chang Rui who listened to Nangong Li said, smiled faintly in response and did not rush to reply.
"It's nice if Wangye understands me so well. " Chang Rui said softly but there was no love in her voice.
Chang Rui's words were like emotionless, only the tone was constantly changing. Chang Rui was aware that he had high self-esteem.
But, he was also aware that the grand plan would fail due to impatience, right now, other than Yuan Xinyun who was quite an expert, who else could his rely on ?
Qinlin and Qiaoling ? Or Yi Qin, Xu Liang, Jing Yi, and Fu Qing ? The six of them did know martial arts, but were not very skilled yet.
It wouldn't be enough to hold back this crazy Jiu Wang.
"I agree to let you examine me, if you can guess what my symptoms are by looking at my injuries, then I will accept you as my healer and protect you. " Said Nangong Li.
"Of course, I was very happy that Wangye turned out to have a broad mind. But first let me eat first. Hunger will hinder the slow work of my brain. " Chang Rui said nonchalantly and sat down in front of Nangong Li.
But, Chang Rui did not move and just stared at Nangong Li which made Nangong Li bewildered by Chang Rui's actions.
"Please eat first Wangye, I'm used to allowing people who are more senior than me to eat first. " Chang Rui said.
"Oh ? Why are you still thinking about this little manners while we're just the two of us here ?" Nangong Li asked with a laugh.
"I'm used to it, to my parents. " Chang Rui said.
Nangong Li who heard this stared towards Chang Rui, his laughter eased and asked something.
"You've just been released from that filthy warehouse, since when did you have the chance to have a banquet with your father ?" Ask Nangong Li.
After hearing this, Chang Rui only remembered that this was wrong. Right now, she was living inside the body of Chang Rui who was Chang Zi's daughter.
Chang Rui accidentally mixed up his past memories and said this to Nangong Li.
"Not really, there were a few times I had a banquet with Dad, when I was a kid. " Chang Rui said in a low voice.
"Oh ? You ever follow him ? I've been looking for everything about you for the past 10 years. But, not finding this out, does this mean that it happened before you were 5 ?" Ask Nangong Li.
"It happened when I was 3 and 4 years old. " Answer Chang Rui.
This time, Chang Rui did not lie because within the memories of the owner of the body, there were indeed such memories.
"How do you still remember what happened so long ago ? " Tanya Nangong Li's.
"If Wangye did something interesting, would Wangye forget about it so quickly ? Just like me, I don't have many good memories with Dad, so any memories of him, will be etched deeply into my memory. " Chang Rui said softly.
"It's very moving. " Ejek Nangong Li's.
Chang Rui did not respond angrily just laughing lightly as if he did not care about Nangong Li.
After Nangong Li started drinking the tea served, only then did Chang Rui start his meal. Because it has been said that there is no need to be too polite when they are alone.
Then Chang Rui will not hesitate to take this passing meal, out of all there are 4 main dishes in the middle of the table.
Then, there is a mustard vegetable white sauteed garlic, this is his favorite food. Chang Rui ate with vigor, then next there was the sweet sour sauce crab.
Honestly speaking, the cuisine given by Nangong Li was in no way inferior in terms of taste from the restaurant version in his past life.
Chang Rui raised his head and realized that Nangong Li had not touched his rice at all, so Chang Rui took the crab meat with sauce and put it in Nangong Li's bowl.
"For you." Chang Rui.
Nangong Li looked towards Chang Rui who was looking very happy while doing this.
Nangong Li felt that this was the first time someone treated him with such sincerity and care.
All along, in this magnificent Palace, no one cared for him in vain. Everyone who contacted her would have their own thoughts, especially her Empress Mother.
In the eyes of the Empress, there was only her oldest useless elder brother, Nangong Xi. Not because Nangong Li was not talented, but rather because Nangong Li was the source of the disgrace borne by his Empress Mother.
In the eyes of the Empress, Nangong Li was a huge mistake that had to be removed with time.
Nangong Li smiled faintly and ate what Chang Rui had given him, the banquet was settled very quietly.
After that Chang Rui wiped her lips with a handkerchief and showed a rare beauty.
Chang Rui's beauty could not be said to be the most beautiful or could tear down a Kingdom. But, her beauty carried something unique and gave the impression of a warrior.
Chang Rui's beauty gave a very attractive impression and made Chang Rui able to make everyone attached to him.
Chang Rui started kneeling in front of Nangong Li and pulled out a needle, then thrusting it into Nangong Li's knee.
Chang Rui again judged by swaying Nangong Li's legs, if seen at a glance then there would be no difference with healthy legs.
But in reality, when held, it was like a completely withered foot, even worse than an old man's foot.
Chang Rui frowned and examined Nangong Li wholeheartedly, in order to be able to obtain Nangong Li's protection without having to become the man's henchman.
"You will suffer pain in your knee every time a full moon appears, and sometimes your legs will tremble uncontrollably. Isn't that so ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Not to mention the numbness you feel, your body will also feel pain and trembling when faced with extreme heat or cold. If I don't guess wrong, then this should have happened 18 months ago. This poison will make you hallucinate and dream nightmares every night and will make you exhausted. " Chang Rui said.
"What you said, everything is true. Very good, you can be my healer. I gave you 6 months to solve my foot problem. " Said Nangong Li.
Chang Rui who heard this did not hurry and pulled out the needle that was on Nangong Li's knee with a heart.
"The worst thing is, this poison is eating your wits slowly. The longer, the worse you will feel that you are worse than a beast. " Chang Rui said sharply.
"For such a complex poison, 6 months will not be enough. This is the only offer I can give Wangye, 12 months. If Wangye does not agree then we will be able to end this matter up here. " Chang Rui said coldly.
Nangong Li stared intently at Chang Rui and said something near the ear of the girl, Chang Rui nodded and did not seem surprised by Nangong Li's decision.
